Gabriel Ferry
Gabriel Ferry the Elder

Gabriel Ferry is the pen name of two French writers, father and son.

Gabriel Ferry the Elder

The elder, Eugène Louis Gabriel Ferry de Bellemare (November 1809 Grenoble - 3 January 1852), wrote adventure novels. He spent 10 years in Mexico. He died at the age of 41 on his way to California, when the ship Amazon sunk in the Bay of Biscay after a fire probably caused by the engine bearings overheating.
